Easy growing Lemon Balm for flavor and your health

Lemon balm is an uncommon herb that should be common.

Why?

It is a mosquito repellent, a bee-sting fixer, a medicinal herb for relaxation, a culinary herb for poultry and fruit, a tasty antioxidant boost, and it may even help with blood sugar and blood pressure.

It grows easily in part shade to full sun.

Lemon balm is hard to kill, but it does not spread so quickly that you can’t keep it controlled.

It prefers no fertilizer, so plant it and forget it. (The only exception is if you have weeks of drought.)

So, start growing it in a container this winter by a sunny window.

Then pop it in the ground next spring.

You’ll be glad you did.
